I know some people are upset about Iru not making it but this picture of Sidorela is so funny to me

Did I hear right that Albina regularly performs with her brother?? You wouldn’t think it. He looks so out of place

He's a synth player in her live events, I haven't seen him singing. At least not in three different occasions that I have seen them.

2021 was a lot better than this.

 

[Milos-BC]

I would've swapped it with . Not a fan of it still, but vocally they were magnificent.

In any case, yes, at least it will be nice to hear something ethnic in the final.

 

[Looren]

Definitely my N°1 of the year, such a beautiful song, regardless their final result I think they already did amazingly well by qualifying to the final

Go Albina and her lovely family

Congrats, for finishing Top 10 in the televoting and getting pts from !!! I massively voted for you!

AM SO HAPPY

TELE TOP 10

 

[Smudy]

Juries killing Albania, no surprise there. Just a few points more and they would have been so much higher up.

I'm glad the crowd liked this song, coming after Sweden was no easy task.

 

[Mainshow]

It really bothers me that an entry which ended up being Top 10 in the televoting can be sent to the combined Bottom 5 just because of "professional" juries

 

[crashworld]

I am surprised Albania did so well in the televoting. I thought this would be more of a jury song. And Albania got the top Rest of the World televote in SF2. Interesting.

 

[Sammy]

Among my all time favorites from Albania. Great entry!

 

[blue00eyes]

Gave me strong vibe of Georgia 2007 and good old ethnic entries. I think they were better in semi though.

Finishing last in the following countries:

As you can see their Top 10 placement in the televote was on a very thin base, in most countries where they didn´t enter the first ten they did very badly.

Sis Albina K bring all the (family) drama to the stage, stellar vocals, the Kelmendis really keep the stage up, really underrated rank, thankfully telivotas have taste and put this as the top 10.

As I said earlier: If they missed the point ranks they usually missed it by a lot.

anyone else LOVED the moment when they started waving their little scarfs? SO FIERCE
